They are Spider Chrome Wheels w/Nitto Invo:
275/35ZR-18 & 325/30R-19
I'm also running a GMPP LS3/525H.P engine with a Graziano transaxle.
This is Graziano #1 for a shipped SL-C! :shrug: good thing or bad....I guess I'll find out?

Congrats JIM!!!!!!!!! love it in red
John,
Nice to have met you @ Putnam. Good luck on build it looks like its on its way and do look forward to pointing you by! Surprised that Diasio said you didn't remember me from the forum. Anyhow, I'll be back the next two weekends so get one of those Miatas down. My fix is going to be to go a 3 stage evacuation pump to clear the valve covers quicker on my Ford.

On Tuesday, July 03, 2013, the “Big Orange Reliable Stork” delivered my new baby! She is a healthy 2,395lbs. It was a “beach birth” of sorts; because there is no steering yet the car did not track straight and wanted to come out side ways. The old time, “been there, done it, saw it” driver had a trick up his sleeve and placed some plastic bags under the wheels and we managed to side the car onto the center of the ramps.

Only working half days because of the 114* - 125* heat. Even with two portable air conditioners and two large fans, we are only able to cool the shop area down to the high 80's.
We spent the first day and a half doing a delivery inspection, removing boxes of parts inventorying the parts removing body panels and placing the chassis on a mobile chassis dolly I built.
Those that can't weld bolt..... “and bolt and bolt”!

After a day and a half of disassembling we finally got install something!
Pic #1) Installed brake & clutch lines.
Pic #2) Applied 1st coat Boom Sound Deadening in gas tank compartment. Note: gas tank will be removed again and was just but in place for mock up for mounting brackets that need to be fabricated.
Pic's #3) Installed and insulated some of the cooling lines. Originally I planned to rap the cooling lines with exhaust wrap but after 6 attempts, I just wasn't happy with how it looked and I'm to cheap top pop for heat sleeve, so I decided to use the foam insulation.
